SIGNALING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led February 6, 1911. Serial No. 606,683.

T o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. ScHrNn- LER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of lVest Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New -J ersey, have `in vented a new and Improved Signaling Device, of which the following is a full, clear, and'exact description.

The invention relates to signaling dcvices, such are used on automobiles and other power-driven vehicles, for displaying during the night to a following vehicle a danger' signal whenever it is desired to turn out of the direction in which the vehicle and thereby'give a signal at the time the is traveling or for other purposes.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved signaling device, arranged on a glove or other garment worn by the driver of an automobile, and arranged in such a manner that the signal can be readily displayed during the night whenever it is desired to turn out or to stop the vehicle, or for other purposes.

Use is preferably made of an electric signaling `lamp carried on the glove, or other part of the wearingapparel of the drivel', and an electric circuit connected with the electric lamp, and having a. switch provided with contact points, controlled by the driver`s fingers, to open and close the circuit whenever it is desired to do so.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similarl characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the signaling device as applied to a glove to be worn by the driver of the automobile or other power-driven vehicle; and Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of the signaling device.

Cn` the back of the glove A is arranged a small electric lamp, lthe lilament B of which extends within a Hat glass bulb C having side flanges C provided with apertures for engagement by laces D or other fastening means, to securely fasten the bulb C in position on the back of the glove A. The electric lamp is connected by circuit wires E,`E with a source of electrical energy F, which may be in the form of a separate battery, stored in the vehicle, or in the form of the source of electrical energy used for the ignition of other devices of the GWG', `in the form of rivets or the like, 60v

secured to the glove A, preferably at adje-,-y cent lingers, such, for instance, as the thumb and the foreinger, as plainly indicated in Fig. l, the contacts G, G', being arranged opposite each 'other so that the driver 011.65

moving the .lingers toward each other canA readily bring the contacts G Patented J an. 23,1912.l

and Gfin contact with each other to close they Acircuit and thus cause the electric lamp to burn danger signal and take action accordingly@` The clrcuit wires E and E are'wp'rovlded 7,5

a short distance from the glove A with a pair of detachablemembers H, H and' H2' H3, in the form of buttons or the ball and socket type, each ball and each socket havinga. tab of leather or a like material I to permit the driver to readily disconnectl the balls and' sockets to completely disconnect the electric lamp from the source of electrical energy and thereby permit the driver On the return of the driver thel members H, H and IP, H3 can be readily connected ,to wear the glove when leaving thevehicle. 85

again with each other, sothat the signalingy device is inoperative position, that is, the

signal can be displayed whenever it is desired and on moving the contacts VCr and G 1n engagement one with the other.

The device 1s very simple and durable `1n construction and can be readily applied to the glove or other garment Worn by the driver of the automobile or other vehicle.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In combination withl a glove, of an 190v electric lamp comprisingr a substantially whereby it may be attached to the glove, circuit Wires connected with the said electric lamp, contacts for the said circuit wires Vfiat transparent bulb having apertures@v pletely disconnecting the electric lamp from' the source of electrical energy.

2. ln combination with a glove, of :in electric lamp comprising a substantially Hat transparent bulb having apertures whereby it may be attached to the glove, circuit Wires connected with the said electric lamp,

contacts for the said circuit Wires mounted opposite each other on adjacent fingers of the glove, and pairs of detachable members of electrical energy, each member having tabs for pulling the members of apeir apart.

ln testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
